POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED.

l. God still watches over the Church, and
guards even his youngest and weakest dis
ciples from the wiles of their foes.
2. Safety is found only in implicit obedi-
ence to the divine command.
3. The enemies of God are also enemies of
one another, and will hasten their own de-
struction. God thus makes the wrath of men
to praise him.
T. Believers must be identified with Christ
in his lOwly life at Nazareth, that they may
be prepared to share his glory in the New
observation-disclosures World.

Matthew alone records this part of our
Lords life. This he does in harmony with
the plan of his Gospel. Christ's life and work
are the heart of Old Testament prophecy Its
fulfillment i'll him in most unexpected ways;
often through the malice of wicked men, is
an argument for tho inspiration of the Script
ures. We may see in to-day's lesson how
God can watch over his Church even in its
times of greatest danger

General Grant on the Terms at
Eicksburg.

In the Century is printed for the first
time letter by General Grant on the
above topic, from which the following
is an extract: General Pemberton, be-
ing a Northern man commanding Il
Southern army, was not at the same
liberty to surrender an army that
man of Southern birth would be, In
adversely or defeat he became an OBJ
ject of suspicion, and felt it. Bowen
was a Southern man all over, and
knew the garrison at Vicksburg had to
surrender or be captured, and knew it
was best to stop further effusion of
blood by surrendering. He did all he
could to bring about that result.
Panberton is mistaken in several
points. 1t was Bowen that proposed
that he and A. j. Smith should talk
over the matter of the surrender and
submit their views. Neither Pember-
ton nor l objected but we were not
willing to commit ourselves to accept
ing such terms as they might propose.
In short time those officers returned.
Bowen acted as spokesman. What he
said was substantially this: The Con-
federate Army was to be permitted to
march out with the honors of war,
carrying with them their arms, colors,
and field batteries. The National
troops were then to march in and
occupy the city, and retain the siege
guns. small arms not in the hands of
the men, all public property remain
ing. Of course, | rejected the terms at
once. l did agree, however, before
we separated, to write Pemberton
what terms would give. The CORES
pondence is public and speaks for
itself | held no council of war.
Hostilities having ceased, officers and
men soon became acquainted with the
reason why. Curiosity led officers of
rank-most all the general officers
to visit my headquarters with the hope
of getting some news. | talked with
them very freely about the meeting
between General Pemberton and my
self, our correspondence, etc. But in
| no sense was it a council of war. |
was very glad to give the garrison of
Vicksburg the terms | did. There was
a cartel in existence at that time which
required either party to exchange or
parole all prisoners either at Vicks-
burg or at a point on the James River
| within ten days after captures or as
soon thereafter as practicable. This
would have used all the transportation
we had for a month. The men had be-
hGCed so nell that 1 did not Udnt to

Grafton for their feelings would make
them less dangerous foes during the
continuance of hostilities, and better
citizens after the aCdr oOdS 0Uer.

pick manufacturer in the world. Be-
fore the war he was in South America,
where he saw a native whiting out a
few toothpicks with his knife. He
bought few of these and sent them
to his wife as a curiosity. BY some
means Paran Stevens, of the Fifth
Avenue hotel, got hold of some of them
and sent to Mr.. Foster for a box.
They were forwarded to him. In less
than month he had ordered gross.

in the country were using South Amer
lean whitfield toothpicks. Before this
there was hardly any demand in the
country for tootlpicks. 1t wasn't
many months before the South Ameri-
can toothpick began to get a national
reputation. Mr. Foster emigrated to
this country and established a tooth
pick agency here. The South Ameri-
cans began to raise on the price of
their WRITINGS, and the picks grew
worse and worse. In the first year of
the business some of them got rich

''Why didn't Mr.. Foster make them
in this country, instead of sending so
far away for them?"
That is just what he did about
twenty-five years ago. He made his
first toothpicks by machinery The
first year he sold sixty-five cases, 25O,-
600 1nccothpicks in case, His last
wears business amounted to thirty
thousand cases-quite a respectable
increase. When Mr.. Foster began the
business in this country he hired a fel
low to turn crank, and the fellow
used to grind out toothpicks one at a
time. Finally he bought an engine of
one-horse power and substituted it for
Young America. At his factory in
Dixfield few years ago he worked an
engine of forty-horse power. Mr.. Eos

They Come in Clouds.

You never heard of fly storm,
| did you?" an old house painter asked
| of a New York Sun reporter.
The reporter hadn't.
well, / reckon it will be a new
thing for most people to hear of, but
one comes nearly every year in June
and lasts a week. This part of the
country was stocked with flies. I've
studied fly storms for forty years. It's

say that it will follow close on the first

to stay, then we have a fly storm.

it completely with wriggling black
specks. They are young flies. Most
of them are no larger than pin-heads.
They can't get away from a coat OF

every fly that sticks to the side of a
| freshly painted house exposed to one
of these storms and right in its line

HOW TURPENTINEIS GATHERED

A turpentine farm must be seen to be
appreciated. When farm is first pitch
ed the boxes are cut one to three In a
pine, according to size. The trees are
counted into crops of so many thousand,
and this called virgin crop. The queer
little gauge called buck is then brought
to bear, and streak is cut above the
box, which is simply deep, oval notch,
pointing downward So as to lead the gum
which exudes into the box below. These
boxes are made to hold about quart.
This first run is as clear as oil and is the
finest of all. After being dipped out
with paddle it is distilled, and the hard
resin left is sometimes as white and clear
as glass. 1t is very beautiful, and brings
good price in the great naval stores
markets. Second years gum is not so
good in quality, but fully in quantity.
Third year boxes, when the hackings
have made the scar high up, are still
poorer, and from then on the crops hard

WHAT BROWNS GOOD SWIM

1 would not be at all astonished if nu-
merous cases of drowning, In which the
victim is a good swimmer, were due to rush
of blood to the brain, producing insensi-
billty. The common explanation is that
the strong swimmer who is seen to sink
suddenly, was taken with cramp. But
from my experience L am led to think
that it is not eramp, but sort of apo
plexy that strikes men in such cases and
renders them completely helpless. If il
was merely a cramp of leg or arm L do
not believe that strong men would sink
suddenly and almost without o struggle
as We see that they do in so many cases.
